Question

There are 28 students in a class. Sixteen of the students are men. What percent of the class are women? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

42.9%

Explanation:

If 16 are men, this means 12 of the students are women (28 - 16 = 12)

So, 12 out of 28 are women = 12 ÷ 28 = 0.42857... = 42.857...% = 42.9%
